The Standing Caliph coinage of the late seventh century has a unique place in Islamic numismatics and in the early history of the Umayyad empire. It is arguably the first truly 'Islamic' copper coinage, but it is very different to all later Islamic coinage in that the coins bear an image of the caliph. The rare examples struck in gold have always excited interest, but the much more common coppers have been somewhat neglected until relatively recently. These coins were often crudely engraved or badly struck and most major museum collections just included a few worn or corroded examples. Consequently the great museum catalogues produced at the end of the nineteenth century only illustrated a handful of examples at the most. The situation improved considerably with the publication of John Walker's British Museum catalogue in 1956, but this is now somewhat out of date, expensive to buy and, at the time of writing, not available on-line. Later catalogues (Ashmolean and Dumbarton Oaks collections) are useful, but not comprehensive. In recent years a number of important articles have been written, but these are scattered across various specialist publications. The net result is that an archaeologist, for example, faced with a worn example of a Standing Caliph coin may need to spend a considerable amount of time in a major numismatic library before he has reliably identified the coin. The aim, therefore, has been to produce a comprehensive, but straightforward, guide to the series which can be read as a narrative by those who are interested, but can also be used to quickly identify and catalogue any Standing Caliph coin. The book is therefore primarily aimed at numismatists, archaeologists and collectors, but it is hoped that it will also be of use to those with a more general interest in early Islamic history and art.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Identification of plants or parts of plants is essential to disciplines ranging from forensic science to paper technology and art conservation. In this book (an Archetype reprint of the original Chapman and Hall publication of 1982) the microscopical characteristics of ten of the most widely used commercial fibres are presented.Features which are useful for identifying fibre cells are described in detail and explained by reference to the anatomy of the living stem or leaf from which the fibres are extracted. Photomicrographs and line drawings illustrate the descriptions. Tables which compare the species are provided. An account of the cultivation and extraction of each of the fibres and details of the methods of specimen preparation are also included.This comprehensive book has proved invaluable not only to forensic scientists but also to archaeologists, conservators of antiquities, textile and paper technologists, botanists and many others who need to identify plant fibres. This reprint of the 1982 classic offers detailed guidance on identifying ten major commercial plant fibres through microscopic analysis. With clear descriptions, photomicrographs, line drawings, and comparison tables, it explains key anatomical features and their relevance to fibre identification.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The papers in this volume are from the 2014 biennial ATSR symposium held in AmsterdamThe papers in this volume are from the 2014 biennial ATSR symposium held in Amsterdam which focused on art technological sources and their aid to research. The papers focus on using source material to research works of art such as artist's notebooks, workshop inventories and documents on the trade in artists' material from the middle ages until today. They show the importance of source material for art historical as well as material-technical or conservation research to highlight the coherence between the style of a work of art and the materials and techniques used in its production. Ultimately, concluding that the disclosure of such source material is of paramount importance for both art-historical as well as material-technical and conservation research.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book studies the early modern phenomenon of the increasing production and consumption of blue-hued paper, a material used widely in Italy as a drawing, writing and printing support as well as an ephemeral wrapping. Until recently researchers overlooked blue paper as an object of curiosity and worthy of study, often judging that, because of its assumed less refined fabrication and mottled colour compared to the finest contemporary white papers, it was a poor-quality product of lowly function and no particular interest. Close looking, a method of visual examination used regularly by a wide range of professional disciplines, is used here to examine a selection of surviving paper artefacts from the period c.1400-c.1600. Combined with a reconsideration of the extant documentary sources and placed in a broad historically-based synchronic context, this book presents new information and interpretations to enrich the nascent blue paper corpus. Blue Paper investigates the historical significance of blue-hued paper, used in Italy from c.1400-c.1600 for drawing, writing, and printing.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Until the 19th century, the dyes available to decorate all the objects of art and everyday life were obtained from naturally occurring raw materials. It was well known that some were better than others and from early times the necessity of assessing quality and avoiding falsifications was recognised. Following developments in synthetic organic chemistry, a vast number of new dyestuffs appeared; these also varied in quality and permanence and required testing. Historians, archaeologists, chemists and dyers then began to ask how the dyers of earlier times and other civilisations had carried out their craft. Today, conservators have questions too: how the dye and its method of application may affect the state of preservation of an object, and also the remedial measures that are necessary.Over the centuries, analytical methods have developed from simply moistening the raw material with saliva to assess its dyestuff content to the identification of a dyestuff molecule by mass spectrometric analysis. Methods for the examination of dyestuffs have evolved in parallel with developments in analytical chemistry and ever more detailed information becomes available as techniques improve. The development of non-destructive methods has a particular relevance to historical artefacts and may grow in importance in the future.These points are discussed in the papers presented at the 20th Meeting of the Dyes in History and Archaeology, held in 2001 at the Instituut Collectie Nederland, Amsterdam. They are illustrated further by discussions of the use of particular analytical methods and the development and use of a range of dyestuffs from shellfish purple to Malachite green; from Indonesian dyes to food colorants. Historical and conservation issues are also discussed including dyeing of prestigious textiles during the Nara era in Japan by a method that was subsequently forgotten, and the conservation of two historical Canadian textiles.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The four paintings investigated in this book all depict Christ driving the traders from the temple. They are alike yet different with echoes of Pieter Bruegel the Elder and Hieronymous Bosch, but all were presumed to have been painted in Antwerp in the 16th century. Over the past 300 years, each painting has found its way to a collection in a different corner of Europe: the Kadriorg Art Museum, Tallinn, Estonia; the National Gallery of Denmark; the Glasgow Museums, and a private collection in London. Relatively little was known about the artists who created these paintings, the journeys they made and the relationship between them.The results of examination of the materials used, the underdrawings, the iconography, and investigation of the changes of ownership are discussed in this book all part of the project that set out to discover the origins of each version, how and why they were made, their meaning and how they might be related to each other. This book is an exciting pan-European art detective scenario investigating four Netherlandish paintings from the 16th century.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. These collected essays on medieval painting and polychrome sculpture draw on a spectrum of vantage points and methodologies for studying the phenomena of painting over c.450 years. The papers are based on discussions held in Oslo in 2010 on topics related to medieval objects in Scandinavian collections.The aim of these discussions was to generate a multifaceted overview of current scholarship devoted to medieval paint and painting, and its changing faces and meanings. The sum of the individual contributions is a panorama of the sort that has come to characterise the interactions and rich discourse between conservators, conservation scientists and historians. The resulting knowledge base has become a theoretical and practical underpinning for a project known as After the Black Death: Painting and Polychrome Sculpture in Norway, 13501550 , which is based in Conservation Studies at the University of Oslo. This volume of conference papers examines the medieval altarpieces, shrines, sculptures and crucifixes of Norway, gaining intellectual access and addressing issues of visibility.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Investigations into a variety of materials and techniques used in creating pictorial art across Asia are presented in this volume: painted reliefs in a Cambodian temple; wall paintings in India; panel paintings in the Philippines; the figures of gods and guardians in a Japanese temple; paintings on silk and several papers covering aspects of the materials, pigments, painting and printing techniques used in works of art on paper. This preponderance of investigations relating to paper seems appropriate given the invention and extensive use of paper in Asia, and East Asia in particular.This volume is the second in a series of Forbes Symposium proceedings. The first title, Scientific Research in the Field of Asian Art, edited by Paul Jett with Janet D. Douglas, Blythe McCarthy, and John Winter, was published in 2003 (by Archtype Publications in association with the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution). The next Symposium volume concerns the scientific study of Asian sculpture. A broad section of papers on paintings, prints and calligraphy stressing the interrelationship between scientific and historical research.
